1. How do you all like to start your shifts?

   Marston3s replied to j_tay1981's topic in General Nursing

2. Nurses calling out

   Marston3s replied to WWTucker's topic in General Nursing

8. Does anyone here work on an ACT team?

   Marston3s posted a topic in Psychiatric

   If so, could you tell me what you do, what your roles are, what you love about it and what you dislike? It sounds very interesting and I noticed it is growing across America. I am just unsure what all the RN does in this team and what a 'typical' day...
